The Lusse Auto Skooters (introduced to the Pleasure Beach in 1927) once occupied this spot and proved very popular with the public...so popular in fact that the American Lusse Brothers set up a small factory in the park in the 1930s and made Leonard Thompson the chairman of their new company.

The whole ride has undergone many changes since.

The latest reincarnation courtesy of a Fiona Thompson design has seen the cars take on the mantle of American football players.
